The board member received compensation of $735 for leading the artist workshop. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b GoFB has provided a copy of Form 990 to the Executive Board members (Chair, Treasurer and Secretary) and subsequently to all board members for review and approval prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c When entering into contracts that involve current board members we have reviewed the conflict of interest policy in our bylaws with a legal advisor to ensure that our practices align with what is required. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a The salary compensation did not change in 2023. In Q4 2022, the Executive Director ("ED") became a full-time employee of Guardians of Flushing Bay. Previously, the ED had been a part-time contractor of the organization, contracted through Riverkeeper. During this shift, the Executive Board (Chair, Treasurer and Secretary) reviewed the salaries of both employees and determined that the organization would maintain the current salary rate for the Executive Director due to a generous 15% salary increase by Riverkeeper in 2021. In 2024, GoFB finalized the development of a transparent and equitable compensation calculator that the organization will use to determine compensation moving forward. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15b The Executive Board (Chair, Treasurer and Secretary) has reviewed the salaries of both employees and determined that the organization would increase the hourly wage of the Community Stewardship Coordinator by 10%.
